Model Kate Moss is pursuing her career as a celebrity-perfume muse with her third fragrance to date, to be launched in April 2009: it is called Kate Moss Summer Time. This limited-edition comes after Kate Moss and Velvet Hour. Aimed at capturing the transient spirit of a season, it is described as a fresh floral offering both a “dynamic” and “timeless” personality…

Kate Moss Summer Time has notes of stimulating neroli and bitter orange blended with cool blackberry and galbanum. The heart rests on a delicate bouquet of English rose, peony, wisteria, bluebell (one of her favorite scents is Penhaligon’s Bluebell, a very musky floral). The base has notes of mahogany wood, tonka bean, and musk.

Blue eye makeup is IN and not in a Marcia Brady way. Check out the latest blue beauties along with expert techniques on how to apply BOLD BLUE color in a feminine, fashionable way…

“Blue can be gorgeous or a little 70′s prom, so it must be dealt with cautiously,” remarks Too Faced Founder and Creator, Jerrod Blandino. “Brown eyes tend to look better in brighter hues like teal, peacock, or turquoise. Green eyes look great in a plumy or lavender based blue, (think iris or periwinkle), and naturally Blue eyes look best in navy or smoky cobalt.”

Try new TOO FACED Lock Down Creaseless Cream Shadow in I’m Guilty ($18.50 at www.sephora.com) or Sue Devitt Beauty Hydrating Marine Mineral Palette in Blue Waters ($37.50 at Barney’s New York.)

Still not sure? Try a blue that’s “mixed” with other hues for a softer, more layered effect. Laura Geller’s Baked Marble Eye Shadow in Blue Heaven and Blue Icing swirls shades of blue with grays or mocha for a wearable, yet stylish look. ($23 each at Sephora.com.)

Finish the look by defining eyes with a powder or liquid eyeliner. On a budget? Try e.l.f.’s classic Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Midnight. $1 at eyeslipsface.com)

International style expert and celebrity makeup artist, Sue Devitt offers her commentary from last night’s 81st annual Oscars and the spotlight’s all about color. Attending the Oscars to offer style and beauty commentary for the Red Carpet coverage of E!’s pre-show programming, Sue thought color was the big show-stopper.

“Color represents Hollywood’s most profound makeup direction right now…from blue and purple, green and coral, the Red Carpet is bursting with vibrant, bold shades,” says Sue. While last year’s approach reflected a sharp emphasis on brown smokey eyes, right now, eyes are being defined with primary and tertiary hues. The trick to applying strong color in a classically beautiful way, advises Sue, is to practice moderation. “Use color to rim and add dimension to the lash line and if you wear a bright eye, use more neutral shades on lips and cheeks,” adds Sue.

When going for a dramatic, glamorous lip, it doesn’t always have to be about red, remarks Sue. “Opt for a fruit colored lip that is the perfect balance between feminine and fun. Pink and coral shades work best for this look whether you’re on the Red Carpet, the boardroom or the beaches of Ibiza. But make sure you keep the tone soft and muted for a classic look.” The Oscars are the perfect prelude to Spring and Summer looks with actresses being the first to tout upcoming trends. That said, color seems to be a major contender as a “must look” for the upcoming season.

Sue thought the overall aesthetic was classic, sophisticated, and that looks were beautifully paired with ornate jewelry and accessories. Among her favorite Hollywood looks of the evening were Natalie Portman, Kate Winslet, Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry and Queen Latifah. “Each of these women looked exquisite, with perfect symmetry between makeup, hair and dress. These women weren’t afraid to experiment with bold colors on the red carpet; truly Oscar worthy.”

Sue Devitt is a top international makeup artist whose work has graced the runways of Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and Valentino. Devitt continues to work with her A-list clients for Red Carpet events including the Academy Awards, the Golden Globes, the Cannes Film Festival, the Toronto Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival.

Her successful treatment-based skin and makeup collection, Sue Devitt Beauty is available in the United States at Barney’s New York, select ULTA stores, www.beauty.com and luxury boutiques and spas. Sue Devitt Beauty is also available in the United Kingdom, Canada, Mexico City, Korea and the Philippines.

And yes, that’s lipstick on her teeth…

Here are the details:

I wanted to make a separation for Alicia Keys the 12 time award winning Grammy artist and Alicia Keys the emerging actress. The dress was a gorgeous Magenta Armani Prive‘ gown with a sultry front split. I was inspired by Veronica Lake, Lena Horne and the women in Hollywood in the 40′s and early 50′s so bold lips, luminous skin, strong brows and sultry eyes are all a MUST!!!

I started by prepping skin with Elizabeth Arden Gold Ceramide Capsules to hydrate the skin and make the skin have a radiant glow then applied Elizabeth Arden Pure Finish Mineral Powder 5. Under eye circles were masked with Mary Kay Beige 2 Concealer. Next I used Queen Collection Natural Hue Minerals Bronzer in Light Bronze 1 to sculpt and contour her face. I then brought in an eye liner to smoke lower lashes using Makeup Forever Aqua Eyes pencil which is waterproof in Black Purple which was totally different from just standard black and Dior Liquid black liner on top lids. Using Dior 5 Color Palette in Tropical Mist and added Shu Uemura Smoky Layers Lashes for drama. The eye was complete with CoverGirl LashBlast Luxe Mascara in Black Emerald.

Brows are such a key point of the face and the women of the 40′s and 50′s always had amazing ones. So I used a brunette brow pencil from Dior and softened it with Dior Blonde Shimmer brow gel.

The Smashbox body Lights glow to enhance her already tanned skin and the finally the bold hibiscus colored lip set off the lavender and pink tones Alicia had on. Because the lip was so vibrant I knew I would need to use Elizabeth Arden’s Ceramide Plump perfect lip moisture so that the lip color would last and plump up lips. I used Mary Kay lip pencil in Raspberry all over the lips filling it in so her lips had lasting power and finished the look with Mary Kay Fleur De Polynesie which is a gorgeous pink.

Cheeks were soft peach from Mary Kay called Shy with Dior Skin Flash pen used as a highlight on cheekbones, brow bones and the bridge of the nose.

I used Dior Cleansing Water to set and re-hydrate makeup and give an appearance of dewy skin.
